Next time Dems must put on top of the agenda.
- End Citizens United.
- Ban gerrymandering
- Ban prez immunity
- Push hard to enable the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC) www.google.com/gasearch?q=t...
All are prerequisites for having a functional and fair democracy in the long run
It is shameful, indecent, morally indefensible, undemocratic, corrupt, and repugnantโฆ in fact, words are not enough to express my indignation at this.
Trump is literally killing Americansโyou!โto increase profits for his corporate cronies. Putting greedโnot Americaโfirst and making Americans gasp (for clean air) again.
Good work, NYT.
JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks.
A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it

I have yet to see a Muslim politician trying to force their religion on the rest of America.
Know what I have seen? Christian politicians repeatedly pushing their religious beliefs into our laws, our schools, and our personal lives.
It is shameful, indecent, morally indefensible, undemocratic, corrupt, and repugnantโฆ in fact, words are not enough to express my indignation at this.
Jared Kushner exposed for taking $2 Billion in bribes from Saudi and the UAE for "influencing US Politics and striking a deal to end the war in Gaza." Plus, an additional $1 Billion for "his personal benefit." #TrumpCrimeFamily
TikTok investor Jeff Yass avoided paying $1 billion in taxes while largely escaping public scrutiny.
He then poured that money into campaigns to cut taxes and support election deniers.
From the ProPublica archives:
I'VE SAID IT BEFORE AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN:THE STORY OF TRUMP IS NOT A POLITICAL STORYโฆ
IT'S A CRIME STORY.TOO MANY POLITICAL REPORTERS FAIL TO GRASP THAT.
~ STEVEN BESCHLOSS
Per CBS 60
Minutes: "The midterms are just two weeks away, and President Trump is using his power to intimidate the people who run our elections, putting the voting system under remarkable stress."
He says that he wants allegations of corruption to be based on โfacts and not based on one random news media report that I readโโฆ but when it comes to immigrants eating dogs and cats, I guess thatโs just completely different?
JD Vance: "I've not seen a single shred of evidence that Donald Trump participates or sanctions in that corruption ... I've not once seen evidence that Donald Trump has enriched himself"
Trump pardoned a foreign billionaire indicted for bribery.
Months earlier, the billionaireโs daughter donated $1.5M to Trumpโs super PAC and pledged $2.5M to his ballroom project.
Could Trumpโs pay-to-pardon scheme get any more corrupt?

awaii enacted a law that could neuter Citizens United.
Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum.
Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics โ and how they could be replicated where you live. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fP...
Before Citizens United, the top 15 political contributors spent just $15 million on the midterm election.
Now, the top 15 have spent $962 MILLION.
That's up 6,400%.
THIS is why our system is so rigged.
We really, really have to end Citizens United and tax the rich.
Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS.
But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!
And recall that Gen. Kelly bought this book while he was chief of staff because he wanted to understand, and wanted others in the White House to understand, the nature of Trump's psychiatric disorders ๐๐

Trumpโs ex-chief of staff John Kelly said this to me, six years ago:
โI don't know how heโs not in an institution somewhere, whether itโs jail or a nuthouse. Heโs a seriously sick guy. I never heard him saying anything that wasnโt a lie.โ
Trump has only gotten worse since.
Weโre gonna build a big, beautiful wall-and Mexico is gonna pay for it
Our beautiful ballroom is gonna be paid for our donors. The people wonโt have to pay a dime
Youโre gonna get great healthcare-and itโs gonna be cheaper
No, your tax dollars are not gonna pay for the ads
It was all a lie
I still remember in 2015 when Trump was gonna hold a press conference clear up all the questions about Melania's immigration issues in two weeks. And then he didn't. And the press never asked them about it again.
The Moron and Lunatic in the White House has now declared China and Russia arenโt helping Iran, and that if they were, โwe would know about it very fast.โ
We do know. His own Defense Secretary told senators they are.
Trump's covering for Putin and Xi as they help Iran kill American service members
Make no mistakeโthe weaponizing of federal law enforcement to go after elected officials who the President deems as โpolitical opponentsโ is a chilling and dangerous abuse of power that must be stopped.
We stand in solidarity with Rep. Omar and the Somali American community, and Rep. McIver.
Our analysis found that from 2020 to 2025, the rate of deaths involving ectopic pregnancies nearly doubled compared with the previous six-year period.
The uptick was steeper in states with abortion bans.
Ellison family consolidates dozens of media outlets: Cool, no problem, go ahead guys.
Media coordinates to protest Trump's first amendment violations: Oh, that's antitrust!

"Eggs expensive under Biden" was a story for six months. "Trump made everything expensive on purpose" is apparently just a Trump personality quirk we're all supposed to get used to.
No network should broadcast a single Trump or Vance event, speech or press conference live until his ban targeting specific media companies for their coverage is lifted. At some point you have to stop limiting your response to lawsuits and go on offense to defend the First Amend.
Dear Americans,
Shipping costs are up 40% since Iran-backed Houthis seized the Strait of Bab el Mandeb. Truckers are planning an October strike over diesel prices. The plane youโre in is flying towards a mountain and the captain is a money laundering pedophile.
Concerned,

Iโm so damn tired of people saying that others โpushedโ Trump into going to war. The โneoconsโ pushed him, his โadvisorsโ pushed him, or even Netanyahu pushed Trump into this war. Bullshit. HE is the President. HE has agency. HE decided to go to war. HE launched this war. The buck stops with HIM.
He's going to do his best to start tearing it down quickly so it'll be too late to stop him.
And because he's such a very special boy, there'll be no consequences for directly defying a court order.
Brendan Smialowski of AFP snapped this picture tonight of President Trump, after Air Force One landed at Joint Base Andrews, viewing a plan to demolish the Kennedy Center.
Susan Collins just cast the tie-breaking vote to advance Trump nominee Matthew Byrne to be the US District Judge for the Southern District of Ohio. Byrne was on the board of an anti-abortion pregnancy crisis center, and in his hearing wouldn't say who won the 2020 election or talk about Jan 6.
This may seem controversial to some, but it can reasonably be argued that the money spent on the "War on Terror" could have been put to much better use in several waysโfor the benefit of the United States and its security, as well as for the good of the planet.
Trump the communist dictator now tells us who we can do business with and who we canโt by executive fiat. Wait till he issues a fiat against Fiat. Itโs only a matter of time.
Police arrest Patrick Havas, carrying 2 pistols and a Taser, for attacking Amy Acton. Patrickโs brother Andrew donated $10K to Ramaswamy and has a criminal record for raping a 15-year-old girl.
Not an immigrant. Not Black or brown. Not a drag queen. Not Trans. EVERY MAGA ACCUSATION IS A CONFESSION.
Good thing he's not a Twitch streamer without any formal role in government or his entire political party would be compelled by the media to denounce him.
Just a Nazi working in the State Department. No big deal!
